Uncle Buck

For all you fellow UK people, Uncle Buck is just starting on ITV. It has a really great story of how an Uncle turns himself around and from alcohol too.

If you can, watch it. If you have seen it, then you will know what I am saying.

Happy Sunday everyone :)

Oh I've seen that Meg Ryan film. Then she goes to meetings and can no longer relate to her husband because he is not a recovering alcoholic. That was a good movie.

"when a man loves a woman" good flick. John Candy was one of my favorites. Sad he is no longer around.

i loved "cool runnings!." yeah, "a man and a woman" which i could never relate to bcause it was about a faithful pilot husband and being a flight attendant i never heard of such a thing--lol. other movies: "leaving for las veas"-hit to close to home, "drunks"- excellent 12 step movie-lots of recoving stars in it, "gia"-dysmal ending/true story,"28 days"-very cute sandra bullock rehab movie,"days of wine and roses"-hit waaaaay to close to home. many, many more but i i'm too lazy to go look at my collection... d.

just wish he's been an engineer or something so it would have been more realistic to me..........d.

Bad Santa is a good one, I watch that every holiday season

Itsmylife....why would an 'engineer or something' be more realistic? Did you find it hard to get the concept of the 'film'?

(btw, in your words, far from the way I see it)

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
